      So @drjasonfung do I need to specifically prove wasps nests are harmful to vaginas and harm women in clinical trials (assuming I could get it past an IRB) or is the knowledge that caustic substances likely damage the vagina enough? Your argument says injure the women!

      There is lots of crazy stuff out there. But we doctors believe our own shit don't stink. So we're fast in 'debunking' alternative stuff like coffee enemas but don't say a word when we tell people to eat trans fat laden margarine for several decades.

      This is simply untrue. Most "debunkers" (as u say) DO critique "conventional" medicine! Many work closely with entities like @ChooseWiselyCA & research COIs & impact of industry, etc. The critique that they "don't say a word" is false. Stop saying it. @bengoldacre @gorskon

          I’m always skeptical of any doc that sells a program. Your program should be part of your in-person practice. Full stop.

          Hypothesis: the "debunkers" are the most likely to question & criticize conventional medicine when it deviates from or strays way beyond evidence-based practice. I see consistency, not hypocrisy.

          Dietary recomm change as we progress in knowledge. Dietary recommendations have never been all or nothing. We recommend the (boring) balance, variety, moderation. Try to keep in mind the simple phrase "it's the dose that makes the poison."

          Also, to become a medicine, there is a high burden of evidence called phase 1-3 trials. Phase 4 when on market. While not perfect, this system doesn’t exist for quackery.

          And more than just the 'debunkers', self critique and change is fundamental to medicine today. Procedures and interventions change constantly as better ones are recognized or vestigial ones are dumped.
